Big Problem! Help Fast! Primary Controller Not Working

[eluser]macleodjb[/eluser]
I've got a big problem and i can't figure it out. I've been working locally on my computer on my website, i just uploaded everything to my server and everthing works fine except for the main controller.

This is my main controller coming right from www.example.com

Code:

<?php

class Home extends Controller {

    function Home()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        session_start();
            
    }
    
    function index(){
    redirect('home/employer');
    }
    
    function employer()
    {
        $data['page_title'] = "";
        $data['page_desc'] = "";
        $data['page_keywords'] = "";
        $this->load->view('home/index', $data);
    }
    
    function freelancer()
    {
        $data['page_title'] = "";
        $data['page_desc'] = "";
        $data['page_keywords'] = "";
        $this->load->view('home/freelancers', $data);
    }
}

everything on the server is fine. the pages and controller are both uploaded and in the correct spot on the server. I'm getting a 404 error on both pages but my URL is redirecting to the proper places. HELP

I managed to get the employer section working by changing the function name employer to index and then deleting the index function. I still have the same problem because the freelancer function still gives a 404 error message. Can you not use alternate functions on the main controller or something?

... i just uploaded everything to my server and everthing works fine except for the main controller.

What do your web server / CI logs tell you when you hit this page?

The code looks fine - it's probably not a problem in there.

everything on the server is fine.

That's a big call, given you just said that this page works fine locally, but not on the server!

Assuming you have your routes set up correctly? Is the Home controller set as your default controller?

Also, instead of doing a redirect from the index function, you could also just call the employer function by doing

Code:

$this->employer();

Not a, YOU HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY, type of thing though..
